Katherina

I have named this tanned, green eyed, auburn haired beauty Katherina. She is made from Li-qua-Che, a pourable papier mache, which despite its fragile quality, is a very strong and versatile medium, entirely suitable for doll making. It has a smooth, satiny texture which resembles porcelain and gives a realistic appearance to the doll. 

She has been poured and dressed by me, but the original sculpture is by the doll artist Stacy Hoffman. Her hands and feet are by Doreen Sinnett. 

Katherina, is from the ranks of medieval nobility, which can be seen from her rich dress and exquisite jewelry.  She wears black silk pantaloons and a short petticoat black petticoat which give her costume the fullness I have sought to achieve.  She wears a beautiful paneled skirt in gold raw silk, which is topped by a full skirt in a beautiful woven fabric of black and gold.  Her bodice is lace backed by gold raw silk.  Her dress is trimmed with fine cotton lace.  Her jewelry comprises a necklace and gold earrings.  Her long auburn tresses fall in soft waves about her shoulders with a few wisps of hair framing her face.  

   

She stands at about 5 1/2 inches and  is a perfectly scaled dollhouse miniature.  She would look wonderful in a rich indoor setting, perhaps posed in front of a mirror. 

All my dolls are accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity.
